A driving licence issued for the first time in Ukraine remains valid for the first 2 years. After this period, the document is considered invalid, so it must be replaced. In which cases the replacement of a driving licence will go smoothly, and when it is necessary to take the exam again, how much it costs to get a permanent licence and where to go for this, we will tell you further in the article.

Replacing a temporary driving licence with a permanent one


After successfully passing the theoretical and practical exams, the student receives a licence valid for 2 years. However, it is important to note that during this period, the driver is granted only two ‘rights’ to violate traffic rules. In the event of a third offence, the driver will be forced to re-take the exams to obtain a new licence.

The procedure for taking the driving test can be quite nerve-wracking for many people. However, if you prepare in advance and find out how the training takes place and what you need to be prepared for, this process will not be so difficult. Read more about driving schools, exams, and the cost in 2024 here.

There are three ways to exchange a temporary driving licence for a new one:

● in person at any service centre of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;

● online through the Driver's Electronic Account;

● online in the state application Diya.

● passport of a citizen of Ukraine or other identity document;

● taxpayer registration number (TIN);

● medical certificate (not required during martial law);

● temporary driver's licence;

● receipt of payment for the service.

Every driver in Ukraine should be aware that all vehicles in the country are required to take out an MTPL insurance policy.
